Creepy first trailer for Ethan Hawke's Sinister: watch now

Stay out of the attic

Sinister, the new horror film from Scott Derrickson, has released a spine-chilling new trailer in which Ethan Hawke's new home is found to be harbouring a terrible secret.

Hawke stars as a true-crime novellist who moves his family into a new house, site of a mass suicide by the previous occupants. Poking around in the attic, he stumbles across a collection of home videos belonging to said family, several of which are more than a little disturbing.

Foolishly, he ends up watching the lot, only later realising that in doing so, he has inadvertently awakened something otherworldly with designs on his young daughter.
